Pie in the face game

I let the kids open a present a few days early so that we could bring it on Christmas Eve.  They all took turns getting whip cream all over their faces.

Decorating candy houses

 

The kids really enjoyed decorating the gingerbread house that we made from scratch with our new stoneware cast.  Yiyi especially enjoyed putting candy on the house and cheered everytime she  placed a candy on the house.

Christmas play at church

Chase was in the Christmas play at church again this year.  He had a speaking part this time.  He had a moment where he forgot his line but other than that he did great.  He played Joseph and our friends daughter Kayli played Mary. 

Hometown wrestling tournament

This weekend Chase had a tournament in his hometown.  He had two easy matched and a harder match at the end.  He ended up pinning all three.  So proud of this boy and his love for the sport.

 Steve's sister was able to watch Chase wrestle it was fun having them there for the day

Chase's Christmas play

Chase's whole entire 5th grade class was part of the Christmas play.  Chase was a mouse and had a dancing singing part with his class.  It was cute and Yiyi really enjoyed it.  Hope well she couldn't hardly sit still let's just say it was fun with her there.
